Using in-person and on-line technology enables staff to engage in advising and community crisis support relationships that: 1) approaches participant support as a teaching function; 2) touch participants on a regular basis; and 3) connects them to the information and services they need when they need to keep the participant and their families on track to career success.

Since 1997 the Community Jobs Program (CJ) has targeted to serve TANF participants who have been unsuccessful in finding or retaining employment, who have multiple barriers to employment, who are motivated to address their barriers to employment, and who want to develop the necessary personal and employment skills to obtain and retain employment. Intensive case management is provided by the Contracted Service Provider to ensure participants move towards barrier reduction, learn to manage issues that arise while maintaining employment, and develop ongoing connections to resources within the community.

Participants may remain in CJ for up to six months at 20 hours per week at a nonprofit organization or public agency worksite and are paid Washington State minimum wage. Participants also participate in 10 hours of stacked activities arranged by the Contractor and an additional 10 hours per week working with Contractor staff on barrier removal activities. Stacked activities include the following options provided by the Contractor or in partnership with other leveraged community resources:
